A BEF spokesperson said, “However, this past weekend proved to be a weekend to remember for young Cody. Riding Achtung Baby in Low Junior Jumpers 1.20m division [sponsored by St. Luke’s Hospital] this dynamic duo was rightly declared Champion of the division with two lst placings and one 2nd placing.
“It was just over 6 months ago that, 15 year old Cody was given an “opportunity of a lifetime” when he was invited to become a working student at the North Run. Based out of Vermont and Florida, North Run is owned and managed by well-known equestrians Missy Clark and her husband John Breenan. During the upcoming summer months, Cody will continue to compete under the North Run banner.
“Future Competitions will include prestigious events including Tryon, Upperville, Lake Placid, Great Lakes, and the Hampton Classic. Congratulations Cody!”
